Salvation Army Towel Drive

Annual Salvation Army Towel Drive

Milton Baseball would again like to ask everyone to donate in support of our annual New Bath Towel Drive for the Salvation Army's Red Shield Shelter in Atlanta. 

Every year, Milton High School and the Eagles Baseball program collects hundreds of towels to help the homeless in their time of most need.  They are delivered to the shelter in late December/early January by a group of players, who get to see the great work that the Salvation Army does in person.

Collection bins will be in the MHS Atrium from 11/27-12/12.

The Red Shield Shelter is the largest in metro Atlanta (325 beds) and has sections for veterans, women, men, and families.  It is the only shelter in our area where a family can actually stay together in a shelter, having one less challenge to deal with in times of crisis.   

Here is a virtual tour of the Red Shield Shelter as well as more details on the services they provide.

 

2022 Thank You Letter from the Red Shield Shelter/Salvation Army

Dear Ms. Ann Flack and The Milton Dugout Club,

We think it is important for you to know how grateful The Salvation Army is for the tremendous support and generosity you have entrusted to us. With good people like yourself, people of the community are able to enjoy a delightful warm holiday meal.

Specifically, we want to thank you for your donation of towels to us for our Consumers. As the holidays are approaching, it is common that a lot of families are in need. Having to deal with the pandemic and additional challenges to many of us, your accomplishment to assist is treasured. Maya Angelou once said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

The Salvation Army is active 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, meeting needs and doing the utmost good in our local neighborhoods and communities. During this past year, over 278,000 individuals throughout Metro Atlanta have experienced some form of personal crisis and have turned to The Salvation Army for assistance. As a result of the generous support of our friends, we have been able to provide support and nourishment for these people.

Your prayers and support are overflowed with gratitude. In fact, they are essential to our mission. Only by the grace of God, and the through the help of people like yourself, has the Salvation Army been able to offer tangible help, hope, dignity and renewed faith to the needy. Your generosity makes a bigger difference than you may realize.

Sincerely,

Sgt. Janeane Schmidt

Director, Red Shield Services
